stitching in the dark

WELL.....

I know, Wells are a DEEP subject.

But, it's not been very regular here lately 

around the Life is a Stitch household.

To start with, the weather is Wacky...with a capital W!

January was March-like

February was December-like

March was April-like

April was May-like

and now, May is mis-behaving also.

Way too much heat, humidity, and wind... and, of course,

all of that heat and humidity brings in WHOPPERS of storms.

Storms that blow trees over and take out electric and Internet

and zap electrical thingys like computer monitors among other things.

Then,

my main computer got one of those

super hidden

super NASTY

super so bad that

there were virus-eating

super viruses.

The computer guru helped out, and I'm back- sorta :), but that could be it's own story.
Next, another huge storm, and the power goes out!

All the extra rain that we're getting is making the

weeds take over like kudzu. 

 It's jungle-like out there!

Scary-jungle-like.

And, I swear, I smacked a mosquito the end of April!

I know sometimes things get blamed on the phases of the moon.
And there was a SUPER MOON that sure was beautiful.
But, it was so pretty that I'm not blaming anything on it.

So, with all of the storms and power outages,

I've been doing a lot of hand stitching.

Stitching until it gets too dark to see to stitch.

On the note of power outages:

we did install a partial-house generator.

But I couldn't talk Sweetie into

putting my sewing machines

on the circuit

that is powered up

if the storms take out the power.

Something about heat, refrigerator and freezer

being more important

than sewing machines. :) 

Priorities!

Oh, yeah,
my camera is also acting up...

so just one picture to share...

the "s" block of "Gardener's Alphabet",

a Crabapple Hill pattern.

Hope your week is great!
I'm off to do some meandering now that the
power is on.

And, after it cools down this evening

when the African heat it fading,

I may tackle some of that Kudzu Jungle

that is overtaking the water garden, flower beds,

& trying to envelope the house! :)
